A mousepad (US) or mouse mat (UK) is a surface for placing and moving a computer mouse. A mousepad enhances the usability of the mouse compared to using a mouse directly on a table by providing a surface to allow it to measure movement accurately and without jitter. Some mousepads increase ergonomics by providing a padded wrist rest. ==History== During a 1968 presentation by Douglas Engelbart marking the public debut of a mouse,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Demo (article on Engelbart's demo) ), final video〕 Engelbart used a control console designed by Jack Kelley of Herman Miller that included a dik sized keyboard and an inset portion used as a support area for the mouse.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Doug Engelbart: The Demo (movie) ), time: 1:12:35〕 According to Kelley〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Jack Kelley (Herman Miller page) )〕 and also stated by Alex Pang,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Making of the Mouse )〕 Kelley designed the first mousepad a year later, in 1969. Details of a mousepad designed by Armando M. Fernandez were published in the Xerox Disclosure Journal in 1979 with the description: By 1982, most users of the Xerox ball mouse were using "special pads" to increase the friction of the ball. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' tracks the term ''mouse pad'' to the 25 August 1983, publication of ''InfoWorld'', and the predominantly British term ''mousemat'' to 17 October 1989, in the publication ''3D''.〔Oxford English Dictionary Online, "mouse", compounds 20. d.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「mousepad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
